Overheard in Washington, D.C.:

John McCain
"Listen UP, children. You better learn how Congress works. This is NOT a game. This is NOT about grandstanding. It is NOT about holding your breath until you turn blue. It's about compromise and finding the best solution. Grow the FUCK up."

Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) whose net worth is somewhere between $3.2 and $15.2 million. He is best known for being angry, though as of late, he appears to be receiving regular shots of testosterone.


Ted Cruz

"Yes, Grandpa."

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who has a net worth estimated at $3.5 million. He has served as a senator for about four months and is considering a presidential run in 2016. The senate post, his since January 2013, is his first public office.



Mike Lee

"Gee... isn't it time for your medication?"

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), who took office in January 2011. He was a co-conspirator in the plan to raise the U.S. retirement age to 70 and cut benefits as a way to ensure long-term solvency of the Social Security System. Lee has a net worth of about $16,000 and in May 2012 was forced to short sell his dream home.

Marco Rubio

"Nice liver spots, by the way."

Sen. Marco Rubio, the great non-white hope of the GOP and one-time King of Pork Barrel Projects in the state of Florida, whose net worth is estimated at somewhere between $-370,000 and $300,000. (The negative sign is not a typo.) Rubio's grandparents are Cuban immigrants. Rubio also has been serving since January 2011.
